Zelenskiy in Berlin: we can make Russia's defeat 'irreversible'

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Sunday Kyiv and its Western supporters could make a Russian defeat in the war in Ukraine "irreversible" as early as this year and thanked Germany for being a "true friend" during a visit to Berlin.

BERLIN, May 14 (Reuters) - Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Sunday Kyiv and its Western supporters could make a Russian defeat in the war in Ukraine "irreversible" as early as this year and thanked Germany for being a "true friend" during a visit to Berlin. "Now is the time for us to determine the end of the war already this year, we can make the aggressor's defeat irreversible already this year," he said during a joint news conference with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz. Scholz meanwhile underscored Germany's pledge to continue to support Ukraine for as long as necessary, brushing aside a question about earlier tensions in bilateral relations and side-stepping another question about Kyiv's hopes to join NATO. Germany, which is Europe's largest economy, faced criticism at the start of the war for what some called a hesitant response, but it has become one of Ukraine's biggest providers of financial and military assistance.

Ukraine is expected to launch major counter-offensive operations in the coming weeks to try to recapture tracts of its east and south from Russian forces. On his first visit to Germany since the Russian invasion began, Zelenskiy said Kyiv was prepared to discuss outside peace initiatives from other states but that those proposals should be based on Ukraine's position and its peace plan. "The war is happening on the territory of our country and so any peace plan will be based on Ukraine's proposals," he said, wearing his trademark khaki combat trousers and a black sweater. Kyiv has ruled out the idea of any territorial concessions to Russia and has said it wants every inch of its land back. Russia annexed the Crimean peninsula in 2014 and since last year has claimed to have annexed four other Ukrainian regions, which Moscow now calls Russian land. "Ukraine is ready for peace. But it demands, rightly and with our support, that this cannot mean to freeze the war and have a form of dictated peace by Russia," said Scholz.

Although it was initially a rocky relationship, Germany has since stepped up to the proverbial plate.

It's just logical, if they think they can arm Nazis to attack Russia AGAIN, think about how the Israelis work, they attack Syria almost every week saying they are stopping arms supplies getting to Hezbollah, of course it's all nonsense, but if it's good enough for them why not Russia? they may not be able to hide behind article five forever, that goes for the Poles as well.

Pro-Putin propaganda, nobody who is logical and realistic takes your comments seriously. Putin thanks you for trying to spread lies for him, but the suckers who believe them are small in number outside of news deprived Russia.

I am just stating a fact, if a Country armed a Country like Cuba to attack the US what do you think would happen?

Its a necessary step towards a more important accounting.

Poland has already handed to Germany a 3Trillion Euros bill for damages to Polish property by unruly German guests in 1939. This bill is long overdue, and acculates interests daily.

Ukraine also hosted same unruly guests, and damages to the Ukraine Hilton was also substantial as the stay of the German guests was marked by endless and incessant brawls.

Olaf the Idiot is all smiles right now. For the moment;. That is until Zelensky springs a Quadrillion Hyvrnia bill on him for damages to property by German vacationers; then we will see those smiles replaced by an ugly German sulk. But that can wait. More pressing matters are at hand. Specifically, Zelensky's struggle to evict what he claims are unruly guests from Russia

Sheer tripe, but then it's really not necessary to point that out.

The Nazis that rummage around in your heart are of no concern to me. Real Nazis ceased in 1945.

There are NEO Nazis in Ukraine as well as many Western nations and Russia as well.

Well all those Nato weapons sent to the Ukrainian Nazis costing billions of your tax dollars went up in flames yesterday, it's probable some of those storm shadow missiles were among them and depleted uranium shells, the criminals masquerading as a government in the UK tell me there is no magic money tree to pay our nurses and teachers what they deserve, but there is always millions to spend on war, they are a disgrace.

Time to fist lie. First sentence.

Nothing from NATO was sent to "Ukrainian Nazis".

It wasn't.

You keep bleating NAZIS when not even understanding why that is stupid.

Of course it was blown up yesterday, reported by many news sources, what are you looking at in the video? there was so much ammo it looked like a nuclear attack.

Something was blown up. Correct.

No NAZIS though.

And if you think it looked like a nuclear attack we can add that as another thing you know nothing about.

A Nato arms dump was blown up your tax dollars paid for, supplies for the Ukrainian Nazis.
 
I was rather pleased how well this short visit went. It was a rocky start last year from both sides. I am a critic of the Ukraine when it comes to it, the rudeness of the Ukraine did not help. But today there is no question of our partnership. I very much liked that Zelensky thanked the German people helping the refugees and the private initiatives which help the Ukraine.
The visit included another event the Karls Price in Aachen, which was given to the people of The Ukraine and Zelensky. The speeches from Scholz, VdL and others made clear that The Ukraine has Europe's support, as long as it takes

It is not just arms, it is the humanitarian help which matters, too. I appreciate that Zelensky said Thank You to folks like my brother, who volunteer their time to help load trucks full of humanitarian aid for The Ukraine.

And you keep bleating Ukrainian Nazis while not realizing how stupid it sounds.
